For jealousy dislikes the world to know it.
~ Lord Byron, Don Juan
“An old man’s mind is a mountain, each memory a milk-washed bell. It’s true, God holds the future, which is uncertain and unknown, so let him hold it. But the old man holds the past…No god can summon it before him and rearrange it at his will…[To] an old man, a day from fifty years back [is] as loud as another not even a fortnight old. And so the gods grow jealous of the old man. They hold the Cup of Lethe to his lips. His feet grow weak…and gone is the old man’s strength to ring the bells.”—Grandfather to the youth.

senior corporal of the feared SS...

“People already read James Patterson’s books – and in staggering numbers. … But Mr. Patterson is after an even bigger audience. He wants to sell books to people who have abandoned reading for television, video games, movies and social media. So how do you sell books to somebody who doesn’t normally read?” New York Times
“With almost enough copies of Fifty Shades of Grey to build its own sex dungeon, a branch of Oxfam in Swansea has asked people to stop donating the erotic novel or any of its sequels.” The Guardian
Benjamin Moser: “In [Susan Sontag’s] essayistic writing, strength expressed through categorical statements often became a besetting weakness. … In her often unloved fiction, however, she turned insecurity into a virtue.” Charles McGrath: “What we tend to forget about Kipling, in our haste to pigeonhole him as a Victorian crank and reactionary, is that for all his failings he was also prodigiously gifted.” New York Times Book Review

Speaking of the 60s, like others that dot the coast of Sydney’s eastern suburbs, Mahon pool is sandwiched between the Sydney sandstone and the sea. But because of its location several beaches south of the tourist-bustle of Bondi and Coogee, there’s an extra degree of relaxation down here Rock Pool Mahon
